Hot Water Remedies.

In many emergencies hot water is not only
easily obtainable, but also the very best
remedy that could be used. Halls journal
of Health enumerates some instances in which
it is of great benefit. A strip Of flannel or
napkin folded lengthwise and dipped in hot
water and wrung out, and then applied
around the neck of a child that hes the
Group, will usually bring relief in ten min
utes A towel folded several times and dipped
in hot water and quickly wrung and applied
over the toothache or neuralgia will gener-
ally afford prompt relief. This treatment in
collie works like magic. There is nothing.
that SO promptly cuts short congestion Of
the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as hot
water when applied promptly and thor
oughly. Tepid water acts promptly as an
emetic, and hot water taken freely half an
four before bed time is the best cathartic
possible in the case Of constipation, while it
has a most soothing effect upon the stomach
and bowels. This treatment, continued few
months, with proper attention to diet, will
cure any durable case of dyspepsia Head
ache almost always yields to the simultaneous
application of hot water to the feet and the
ba,.k of the neck

THE GREAT MAN,

Completely overcome by this last remark,
Hans collapsed like jelly fish out of water,
and reflected in his worthless old heart that
Frank Muller was indeed "a devil of man. N
By this time they had reached the door Of the

He was short, ugly man Of about IS, With

the purpose, rich as we'll as simple. A very
handsome one can he made of plush and

One NJ Fashions Last Freaks.

One Of the last freaks of fashion, according
to The Decorator and Furnisher, is to con.
vert camp stools into drawing room work
bags. The material most used for these
bags, where expense is no object, Is brocaded
silk or satin, with a lining OF plain satin of o
suitable shade Of color. Less expensive ones
are made Of cretonne or of printed cambria.
To make one, open out the camp stool and re-
move the ordinary seat, cut a piece Of Gre
tonne the size Of the seat, and another piece
about eighteen or twenty inches deep, and
long enough to sew round the square, joining
It up the sides. Fasten this to the frame Of
the seat Of the stool with number Of tiny
tacks, five inches from the top Of the bag.
Make deep hem at the top and run double
drawstring into 1t, which will require about
two yards and half Of narrow satin ribbon.
That, with plain, not picot edge, is the
best to use, as it slips more easily. It is well
to line the top of the mouth of the bag with
plain colored sateen. The legs and frame Of
the camp stool may either be painted black,
red, stained like dark wood, or gilded, &C.
cording to taste.

Perfectly plain chair cushions of plush are
much In use. They may be finished around
the edge with cord and at the corners with
tassels, or may be without finish and tied to
the chair at the corners with ribbon bows.
Favorite colors In these cushions are dark or
peacock blue, cardinal, maroon or gold.
Crescent shaped cushions for head seats are
somewhat of novelty They are swung be-
hind the chair when not in use. Cashmere b
quite a desirable material for cushions that
receive much wear.
Very dainty chair backs may be made Of
dotted muslin or net. A muslin with large
round spots far apart is chosen. Around the
spots are worked the petals of large daisy
Or marguerite in darning or crewel stitch and
q stem Is also added. When white muslin is
used lining of colored sateen or colored
muslin Is necessary to make the chair back
effective.

A Suggestion to the sl.eple.s.


What is 1t that disturbs sleepl The popu-
lar view that noise is the disturbing cause
touches the truth without quite graphing IL.
1t cannot be noise altogether; for the inhabi-
tants Of besieged towns have been known to
sleep through the roar Of bombardment and
to waken suddenly when the firing ceased.
The rattle Of train in motion will induce
sleep, as even those who are ordinarily very
poor sleepers often find. The true cause is in
terruption. A sudden cessation of either con-
tinued silence or sound awakens For sound,
providing it be monotonous, has precisely the
same effect on the brain as silence. The
alarm clock is based on this theory of inter-
ruption-it interrupts silence.
Now, suggests The English Medical Jour-
nal, might not an equally simple contrivance
be made on the same mechanical principles,
but with the reverse object, viz: That Of in
surfing sleep by sounds Its utility to delicate
persons especially would be undoubted. Call
it the morphiometer or somniferant, or
christen it the sleep preserver-a name that
would truly designate its object, for its real
object would not be so much to promote
sleep as to insure the sleeper against disturb
ance (the vulnerable side of light sleepers) by
placing bulwaIk of sound between him and
the sudden shocks of extraneous noise. Let
your sleep preserver produce the drowsy
monotonous buzz Of the humming top, not so
loud as to be heard in an adjoining room, but
loud enough to drown distinct noises when
placed close to the bedside or hung over the
pillow

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Manners and Customs Practiced
pnIf

Manners and Customs Practiced in
Polite Society.
People in pretty country or suburban
places can hardly devise happier form of
entertaining than the garden party There
may be a little awkwardness at first where
people are unused to these parties. Without
the accustomed shelter of house guests NAV
feel little forlorn and wander dismally
about for time, but hostess of tact soon
suggests forming parties for whatever sports
or games are provided, and after the first
stiffness is over any one can find congenial
entertainment of some sort.
The garden party proper is held entirely in
the open air. The hostess receives upon the
lawn, wearing her hat or bonnet, and ledy
guests always wear bonnets. Upon arriving
at the house guests are shown upstairs to lay
aside wraps and brush off dust, il they wish
to, and are then shown to where the hostess
is receiving.
1t is proper for a lady to ask for an invita-
ton for friend to party that is to be en-
tirely out of doors, as there will always be
plenty of room. Still no lady should take
offense if such a request is not granted, as
hostess may have excellent reasons for re-
fusing.
Lawn tennis, croquet, archery and, for
those disinclined to active exertion, card
tables furnish sources Of amusement at these
picturesque assemblies. Sometimes plat
form for dancing is provided, and band of
music is another pleasant feature OF enter
tainment.
These parties are sometimes conducted on
the principle of an afternoon tea. The hos
tess receives in the house, the guests then
wander through the grounds and return to
the house for refreshments when fatigued.
This is a modification Of the garden party
which meets with appreciation from the timid,
the elderly and the rheumatic, and is less
troublesome to the entertainer than serving
refreshments on the lawn.
Where grounds are ample and handsome,
the garden party proper, however, is beau
tiful and enjoyable affair.

Green Peas Excellently Cooked.

An excellent fashion of cooking new peas
is to first boil the pods in little water, then
skim them out and put in the peas and boil
till tender. About half an hour is the time
required to cook. Before taking them from
the fire add a little butter, cream, salt and
pepper. The pods are full of sweetness and
flavor, which is preserved from waste by this
method of cooking. English cooks boil
sprig of mint with peas, fashion not in
favor in this country, where the delicate
natural taste of the pea alone is preferred.

Lace, Grenadine and Silk Nantes.


There are great variety of dressy mantles
for midsummer wear. Some are of lace,
some of grenadine or silk, and some of all
these materials combined. A striking feature
of many of the new mantles is the lavish use
of jet in the trimmings especially in fringes
and ornaments edge with fringes. There
are jet fringes so wide as to cover the front
of nantes, entirely concealing the founda-
ton material, and there are elaborate orna-
ments for the shoulders and back, that have
fringes reaching quite to the lower edge OF
tho garment
Less elaborate garments are made Of heavily
beaded grenadine. Black mantles are in the
majority, but there are numberless charming
wraps in various colors. il shape mantles
remain short at the back with long scarf-like
tabs in front, and there appears to be pre-
ference for hanging shoulder pieces rather
than sleeves.

Clarifying Wine.

Properly made wine, that ferments rapidly
and thoroughly, seldom needs to be clarified
by artificial means. Wine is clarified, how
ever, by adding an ounce of powdered gum
arabic to each forty gallons. The gum arabic
is dissolved in cold water. The wine is well
stirred when this solution is poured in.
Whites of eggs are preferred by many wine
makers for clarifying The whites of ten
eggs are used to forty gallons. Some wine is
taken out Of the cask and the whites whipped
to foam with it. This mixture is put back
into the cask. The wine is stirred well and
the cask bunged tightly. After a week the
wine will generally be clear and may be
drawn off

especially convenient for country house
wife to make when cream is not scarce. Pick
over two and a half pounds of Strawberries
and squeeze them through colander; to the
Juice add six ounces Of sugar, and when the

An Effective Mantel Lambrequin.

Demorest tells how to make an effective
mantel lambrequin, like the one shown in
the accompanying figure. The dimensions
are dependent on the size of the mantel to be
covered. For one of ordinary length the plain
piece should be about twelve inches in depth,
and reach from one end to the middle of the
mantel. The draped piece should be about
two inches shorter and about six inches
wider, SO that when it is draped the bow will
be short distance beyond the middle Of the
mantel. The top piece is sash the width of
the mantel, and sufficiently long to hang over
each end about two inches deeper than the
corresponding front piece

smelling salts, is carried by many ladies', and
